In its quest to discover the next Crash Bandicoot, Sony is about to resort to thievery. Sly Cooper is a thief and a raccoon who will star in his own PS2 platform-style action/adventure game.Sly will rely on stealth and keen puzzle-solving more than combat to recover his lost family heirloom, the Thievius Raccoonus. The TR, you see, is a book containing the complete record of the Cooper family?s tips and techniques for master thievery. As a raccoon pup, Sly witnessed the death of his father and the theft of the Raccoonus at the hands of a gang of superstar thieves.
Now the wily raccoon will track down these evil bosses in a forest universe that sports a unique-looking "toon"-shaded look. He?ll have to overcome aggressive booby traps, tricky obstacles, and other types of sneaky security stuff. The enemy A.I. will also be tuned to react to the merest slip up by Sly. Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus could shape up to be a deep and engaging tale that challenges gamers to use their wits as well as their thumbs.
